Just like in the legendary palace, containing heroic names, celebrating majestic moments of victory, and securing a glorious afterlife for the most courageous Vikings, the video game is led by the highest gods – Odin, Thor, Freya, Hel and Garmr (high-value symbols) and furthermore equipped with several runes (letters from an ancient Roman/Germanic alphabet) – low-value symbols.
From a technical point of view Masters of Valhalla slot is a 1024 winways machine with High Volatility, a decent hit rate (a little over 30%) and a customizable (per operator) return, where the default RTP setting is 96%. Splendid as the eponymous mythological hall the Valhalla game comes with an impressive maximum potential of 20000x the bet and super engaging features.

As avid players (which we are) we found this video game superb: with great design and incredibly detailed work. While all the ‘Negative Joe’s’ are doing what they normally do – looking for the faults and who took what from where, we’d rather enjoy the game and pick up some juicy wins along the way.
So, please ignore them – the game is brilliant even though you can see some things in it not only from Money Train 1 and 2 but from other 10-12 games, cause what do we have now – all features and small variations from dozens of games are blending, without anyone making a revolutionary footprint on the gambling map.
Although there is a safety net in the base game (the Wild Re-spin feature), it doesn’t appear often enough to help the balance be preserved or restored.
That is why we consider the Masters of Valhalla online slot unsuitable for bonus hunters and for players on a tiny budget. In a short verdict, we think the game is perfectly appropriate for sharp and bold daredevils, who can use the cycle and variance in their favour. Instead of playing it safe with a constant optimal bet, they can push their risk and try some strategy by amending the bets.

Bonus Features of Masters of Valhalla slot
During base game 2 collections will be happening:
The raven Wilds collection – gathering (figuratively) Wilds of all colours – and soon enough (yet at random) the base Wild Re-spin could be activated.
The Berserk collection gathering – (literally) wasted (only 2OAK) Bonus Symbols, which will matter to boost the upcoming Bonus with +1 Re-spin.
Wilds & Wild Re-spin – Wilds of 4 different colours (corresponding to the 4 Gods’ colours) can turn up on any reel. They are the top value symbol on the provision board, serving as substitution (for combos of regular icons) and can produce their own combinations. At random (only in the base game) the Wild collection (held by the raven in the chest) can initiate the Wild Re-spin feature. 1 Re-spin is granted, where up to 19 Wilds can be added. Further, multiple icons of the triggering God, Wilds and low-value symbols will appear during that Re-spin.
Bonus Booster – The Booster (named after the invincible Scandinavian warrior – Berserk) is shown with a simple gauge atop the reels. The meter gets filled with wasted (only 2OAK) Bonus Symbols (landed on reels 1 and 3 simultaneously), which are not enough to trigger the Hold and Win Mini-game. This collection and respectively unlocking the Booster only matters once finally the Mini-game is initiated. Once the padlock is open you will get the chance for a Re-spins series not from 3 but from 4 spins.
Hold and Win Mini-game → Although it triggers like a regular FS Bonus (with 3 Scatters=Bonus Symbols=Valhalla doors – only on reels 1/3/5) the Bonus round at the Masters of Valhalla is in fact Hold and Win Bonus game. It is played on a separate grid, and you start with 3 or 4 Re-spins (depending on active or not Bonus Booster).
→ The most common symbols during the Bonus game are Wooden and Golden shields, delivering 1x-9x or 10x-50x respectively (prize x the total bet).
→ At the beginning, you get 3 random shields with various prizes, scattered on the empty grid. Within the feature, each new symbol that gets hooked to the grid not only will reset the number of the Re-spins but also may bring additional benefits. The following 6 Modifiers are available:
→ During the Mini-game, this electrifying segment (Hot Spot) on the reels indicates a possible Modifyer coming on the current spin.
→ The Mini-game finishes when you run out of Re-spin chances, or when all the cells on the grid are full of various symbols. On the latter occasion, the developer promises an extra award of 500x on top of the accumulated amount of the Bonus.
Bonus Buy – For all the impatient players, Snowborn Studio has enclosed a Bonus purchase button, which allows them to immediately launch the Mini-game at the price of 100x the bet (with Booster), and 50x the bet (regular Mini-game- no Booster).
